Biggest: I've had 11 or 12 6 and 8 foot folding tables on the bed (and hanging over almost to the backs of the front seats) with the floor stacked with file boxes full of papers and books. I measured the height at the wheel wells loaded and unloaded, a 2" drop in the rear and 1.5" in the front. I'd have to say it was a very smooth ride, the brakes worked well considering the load. Note; this is a weekender so it doesn't have cabinets but does have the bed. Strangest: One other time I filled the center floor section with 5 gallon buckets of Imo's pizza sauce, they are pretty heavy (and still warm), I'm lucky they didn't spill!
